99 Homes Page #2

Synopsis: Around the world everyone knows that honest hard work gets you nowhere. In sunny Orlando, Florida, construction worker Dennis Nash learns this the hard way when he is evicted from his home by a charismatic, gun-toting real-estate broker, Rick Carver. Humiliated and homeless, Nash has no choice but to move his mom and nine-year old son into a shabby, dangerous motel. All is lost. Until an unexpected opportunity arises for Nash to strike a deal with the devil - he begins working for Carver in a desperate attempt to get his home back. Carver seduces Nash into a risky world of scamming and stealing from the banks and the government; he teaches Nash how the rich get richer. Living a double life, Nash hides his new boss and job from his family. He rises fast and makes real money; he dreams bigger. But there is a cost. On Carver's orders, Nash must evict honest families from their homes - just as it happened to him. Nash's conscience starts tearing him apart... but his son needs a home. In a

I'm wondering if he's gonna help...

Lost is to found

as outside is to indoors, inside...

And what's another example?

Here you go.

- Have some salad.

- Black and white.

Black and white.

What's another one?

Give me one more.

Please give us a call back.

I don't know

what to say to him sometimes.

I was so young when I had you.

I feel like you've had to raise me.

You know just what to say.

Borrow against Blair Street

to cover Via Alizar.

'Good.'

- I'll flip that this quarter.

- 'And London at Code Enforcement?'

I got a short sale for that cocksucker.

I'll email you the details.

- 'OK.'

- All right.

Afternoon, boss.

Love the new ride.

- Range Rover HSE.

- Is this the Nash eviction?

Yeah. Anyone home?

I'm not sure, but his vehicle is home,

so I'm assuming he is.

All right, let's get to it.

- Morning, y'all.

- How's it going?

He's at the window.

Sheriff's department.

Come to the door.

- What?

- Sheriffs are here.

Why are they here?

- You need to come to the door.

- He saw you.

They saw you through the window.

Just answer it. We just got to explain it.

Oh, come on.

Don't f***ing do this.

- Good afternoon.

- Afternoon.

I'm Deputy Anderson

with the Sheriff's department.

We're here to serve you

a court-ordered eviction.

- OK, well...

- So, ma'am,

do you have any weapons on your body

or anywhere in the house?

- No, no, no, no. Not us.

- Mr Carver?

Good morning.

My name's Rick Carver.

- I'm a licensed real estate broker.

- Mr Carver.

Hi. Lynn.

And, er, I'm very sorry to tell you

that this home has been foreclosed on

and officially transferred to the bank.

- I need you to vacate the premises.

- I understand what you're saying.

And I've... I've... I've...

We've been getting

our eviction notices.

I was in court yesterday

and the judge informed me

that I got 30 days

to file for an appeal

and that's what I intend to do.

If you have an emergency stay signed

by the judge, you're welcome to remain.

I got a question. You guys didn't get

any rescheduling of the eviction date?

What I've received is a court order

signed by a judge.

It says you are to vacate

these premises today.

- We were scared of this.

- This home is owned by the bank.

- This is the information that we have.

- And we're sorry to waste your time.

My office offered you a $3500

cash-or-keys settlement from the bank

which would have given you time

to vacate the premises and you refused.

- Yes, sir.

- We didn't refuse.

- We tried to save our home.

- We were trying to save it.

This is a very painful time, I know.

It's a difficult thing to carry through on,

for me as well.

But the time has come.

You have to leave your property.
